how can i make things right again?

they’re clearly in the wrong

how can i face the world again?

this time without a song

how can the wheel of life still turn

when i’m not on it’s train?

i’m standing here under the trees

as the world is drenched in rain

self-pitying sighs are the only sound

that’s heard within this icy tomb

why push away the curtain of mist

to be enveloped by the gloom?

the music of near forgotten days

drifts in the wind, almost silent now

brought back to memories long past

and to that world, that day, that vow

life’s not worth living without true friends

to bring you back when you’re at the end

to remind you what it’s really about

to always offer a way out

to show you the greatest things in life are free

i’m sure by now that you’d agree

so why, in my moment of greatest need

there’s no one here, by the side of me?

have i pushed them away

when i should have pulled?

my heart, i find, is empty

when it should be full

why is loving so hard for me?
